gerbils : Gay & Black Glossary

Somebody started a rumour that gay men frequently put live gerbils into their
anuses. I personally have never met anyone who does this, or who even knows of anyone
who has tried it. The world is a big place, so quite probably somebody has tried it. I
would think the little claws and teeth would quite quickly puncture the rather delicate
rectum. Such a person probably performed the experiment only once. I have since had an
email explaining that a few sadists have indeed tried this anaesthetising the gerbil,
removing its teeth and claws first. I have no way of knowing if he was just pulling my
leg. It is a dangerous and cruel way to get jollies that can be had much more easily
other ways.
